Perhaps a nitpick, but given the earlier confusion about what the IOMMU 
flag actually meant this prompts me to wonder if it's worth adjusting 
the general terminology before we propagate it further. What I think we 
actually care about is that one thing or the other "provides MSI 
isolation" rather than "supports MSI remapping", since the latter is all 
to easy to misinterpret the way we did in the SMMU drivers.
